Part 1: The Establishment of the Free Heart Chapter 68: The Legacy (I)

"Jonny Reno?" A lawyer, who looked a little thin and looked like he hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time, sat across from Renault and asked.

"Yes, it's me." Renault replied.

"My name is Kennard, a lawyer at Langton's office, and I have been commissioned by the Sir Town Police Department to give you this thing." Attorney Kennard disposes of a small black notebook from his carry-on robot and hands it to Renault.

"Is this ......" Renault asked, taking one look at it.

"Dandy Bagg left you with your name on it, and I will give it to you by name." The lawyer pushed the notebook over.

Renault took it, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was written on the cover "Please give it to Jonny Renault", and there was Jonny Renault's address below.

Renault didn't open the notebook, but looked at the lawyer: "Can you tell me what happened to him before he died?" ”

"Yesterday evening, his body was found on the side of Route 27, which was confirmed to be a suicide and the time of death was about three days."

"He was dead for three days before he was found?"

"It's not surprising that most people don't drive on the ground. On average, one vehicle passes over the ground every seven days on Route 27. He didn't leave anything behind before he died, only this notebook. There is a will in it that states that he will leave his estate to you. ”

"His legacy?"

"Yes." Kennard replied, "Dandy Bagh has no relatives, he has never been married and has no children in his life. But he also had no possessions, he had a habit of drinking, and almost all of his possessions were used to buy alcohol...... Except for a cottage in the city of Nuren, which is the key to the house. ”

The lawyer handed over the keys.

Just as Renault was about to take it, Kennard said, "But you'll have to pay eighty thousand federal dollars for it." ”

Renault paused for a moment: "Eighty thousand? Why so many? ”

"The house is not valuable, but the location is not bad, according to the estimate, it is worth about 300,000 yuan, and according to the regulations, you have to pay 30 percent of the inheritance tax, which is 90,000 yuan. Since you are a cadet, according to the law, you can get a certain degree of relief, I fought for a reduction of 20,000 yuan for you, but you have to pay me 10,000 for it. ”

Renault shook his head: "I don't have that much money. ”

"I'm not surprised." Kennard said: "I have already investigated you before I came, you are from the star of Chiledun, your parents were soldiers, but you died at the hands of pirates after retiring from the army. You grew up on handouts and got into Alpha Academy. You, like Dandy Bag, are unaccompanied, and now live on a scholarship...... An honor student. ”

Renault looked at him coldly: "Since you know so much, then you still come to me?" ”

"I'm just loyal to the commission." Kennard replied, "And it's not out of the question. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Sell the house. I can buy the house at my own expense so you can get a sum of cash without having to worry about taxes. Of course, I won't pay the full amount. I can go out for that room...... Two hundred thousand, how's that? You can write a statement and sell your inheritance directly to me, which is convenient. ”

Renault looked at the lawyer, didn't answer, just picked up the notebook and opened it.

On the notebook are the words left by Dandy.

"Jonny Reno, when you read this, I was dead. Don't grieve for me, life will always die, I just took the step that should have been taken a long time ago. My soul died long ago on the battlefield, and now it's just a matter of bringing my shell to its proper pace. ”

"Thank you Marshall for all that she has done for me, everyone thinks that he brought me here so that I can teach you, only I know that he is saving my life, making me feel like existing, and holding me tight. Thank you for letting me see the dawn of life and finding the meaning of life. ”

"But now, I'm no longer your instructor. I can let go of all my burdens and run to freedom, to the end of the universe, where I know that my partner is waiting for me. Do you believe that the soul has a new destiny after death? I don't know, but the gods believe there is. They told me that when every god dies, he has his own soul to go to home. Maybe they were right, and I seemed to see my comrades calling to me...... They were waiting for me. ”

"I don't have any relatives, Renault. I leave you my house in the city of Nuren, 162 Sinston Street, which I got with one eye and one leg. There's something in there that might be useful to you. The key is in my pocket, and I think the police will help you find it. ”

"Goodbye, kid. Dandy Bag. ”

After reading the will, Renault looked up and looked at the lawyer.

Attorney Kennard was still smiling.

He said, "How's it going?" ”

Renault shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not going to sell that house." ”

"Well, I'll admit that the bid of 200,000 is a bit low." Kennard didn't care: "But if it's not cheap, who's going to buy it?" Well, I can give you one more step, how about two hundred and one thousand? ”

Renaud shook his head: "This is what Dandy bought with his own life, and he said in his will that he left me something, and I will not sell it." ”

"Ahh Kennard laughed, "He's just a poor ghost, he has nothing but a house, and he can't leave you any valuable treasures." Okay, okay, I'll give two hundred and fifty thousand. ”

Renault still shook his head, and he said, "Eighty thousand yuan, right?" I'll figure out how to raise this money. ”

Kennard was a little anxious: "Hey boy, I'm helping you, you can't make up so much money." ”

"That's my business, Mr. Kennard." Renault put away the black book and key, and made a gesture of sending off the guest.

"Hell!" Kennard screamed.

He said loudly: "Okay, who called me a kind person, 280,000 is always okay, right?" ”

Renault got up and walked out the door.

Kennard was in a hurry: "Three hundred thousand!" Just 300,000! ”

Renault stopped.

He looked back at Kennard and said, "I think I get it." ”

"What?" Kennard was on the lookout.

"That house is more than 300,000, right?"

Kennard's face froze.

After a while, he laughed, "You're smart, lad. But that's not necessarily good for you. It's a good idea to understand that the higher the price of a home, the more taxes you'll have to pay. ”

"I'll pay it off." Renault replied.

He walked out of the house.

"You can't do it!" Kennard exclaimed, "The execution of this will is valid for three months, and you can't get a million federal dollars in three months." ”

"What did you say?" Renault looked back at Kennard in surprise.

Kennard shrugged: "You heard it right, that house is worth more than three million." You lucky and unlucky fellow, without my operation, you can only take it at the original price. ”

A few words popped out of Renault's teeth: "What a greedy scoundrel!" ”

——————————

On the way back, Renault saw a man walking towards him.

It's Courtman.

He stopped in front of Renault and said, "It's a shame that I heard about Dandy Bag. ”

Renault looked at him with an indifferent expression and didn't say anything.

"I know what you're thinking." Cousinman said, "You think I killed him?" Hell, I didn't know he would do that. If I had known that was the outcome, I would never have fired him! How did I know that a veteran would commit suicide! ”

"That's because you've never understood the military, Mr. Courtman, you're not a soldier." Renault replied coldly.

He bypasses Cottman and wants to leave.

Cottman reached out and grabbed his arm: "Maybe you're right, but that doesn't mean I don't have a conscience. I admit that I may have been overly realistic in my thinking about the management of the Academy, but that doesn't mean I'm a murderer, and I never wanted him to die! ”

"So what? People are dead, and it doesn't make sense for you to tell me about this. Renault replied.

"At least I can get some forgiveness and understanding from you." Courtman replied seriously.

Looking at his serious expression, Renault was moved at that moment.

For a moment he really wanted to say I can forgive you.

But it was then that the image of Kennard popped through his mind.

When he suggested to himself that he should sell his inheritance, he behaved so indifferently.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to live up to Dandy Barger, he would have been fooled.

He looked at Cottman's "sincere" countenance, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't think I'm afraid I can forgive you." ”

"Why?" Courtman took a step back, looking shocked.

Renault said slowly: "The reason why you are here, begging for my forgiveness, may not be because of your conscience, but because of some other reason. It occurred to me just now that Dandy's death might have some bad effects on you. There should be a lot of people now who think that you forced Dandy to death, and that has a bad impact on your reputation, right? That's why you came to me, because you know that Dandy appointed me as heir. As long as I am willing to forgive you and understand you, it means that many people will forgive you and understand you. ”

Cottman's face turned pale.

Renault shook his arm slightly, breaking free from Coatman's grasp.

He walked forward.

"Jonny Reno, I'm the dean of this academy anyway. It's better to be friends with a dean than to be enemies with him! ”

Renault paused, and he looked back at Courtman:

"I was just guessing, but now it's finally certain."

Courtman's body freezes.

Then Renault smiled: "Obviously, you don't have as much conscience as you think you are." ”
